What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Preterm birth is known to be associated with delayed primary tooth eruption, yet data on the factors influencing this delay in premature infants remain sparse. This study aims to investigate neonatal and maternal factors affecting the timing of the first primary tooth eruption. Methods: In this retrospective-prospective cohort study, medical records of 145 preterm neonates (85 males) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at a tertiary center in Iran (January-June 2024) were reviewed. Comprehensive data were collected on maternal comorbidities, birth details, and neonatal status. Weekly follow-up interviews assessed tooth eruption and feeding status. Linear regression analysis examined variables against eruption timing for both chronological and corrected age, with a significance level set at Results: Median chronological eruption age was 8.0 [7.0, 10.0] months; mean corrected age was 6.5 ± 2.1 months. For chronological age, male sex ( Conclusion: Feeding status and anthropometric indices at birth emerged as independent predictors of tooth eruption. Exclusive breastfeeding associated with earlier chronological eruption, while earlier corrected-age eruption in more premature infants may reflect compensatory accelerated growth.
